“You say I have no power? Perhaps you speak truly... But — you say that dreams have no power here? Tell me, Lucifer Morningstar... Ask yourselves, all of you... What power would hell have if those imprisoned were not able to dream of heaven?”
― Neil Gaiman, The Sandman, Vol. 1: Preludes & Nocturnes

“I am a fool with a heart but no brains, and you are a fool with brains but no heart; and we’re both unhappy, and we both suffer.”
― Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Idiot

“I have limited experience, but I know this: moments of connection with another human being are patently rare. But rarer still are those who can recognize such a connection when they see one.”

“I love the intentional, aimless wander that comes from years of experience roaming the aisles of libraries, imagining all those who have tread before--some at a casual saunter, hands in pockets maybe, taking it all in; some frantically scanning the spines for that one book that might save their lives--and letting the mind delve the depths of a proper vanishing among books, just really good and fucking turned around.
There is no kind of lost like library lost.”
― David Arnold, The Strange Fascinations of Noah Hypnotik
